A witch that sits outside the shop 'Witches Galore' in the village of Newchurch in Pendle Lancashire.


Famous for the Demdike family of Pendle witches who lived there in the 17th century. Newchurch used to be called 'Goldshaw Booth' and later 'Newchurch in Pendle Forest', however this was shortened to 'Newchurch in Pendle'. The civil parish is still named Goldshaw Booth. The statue of this witch resides outside of the 'Witches Galore' shop in Newchurch in Pendle. Inside you'll find fiendishly ghoulish delights to thrill and to chill ; we're in the heart of Pendle Witch Country!
